Chapter 43
What's going on? Is it a siege?
Bai Gaoxing, who had just placed his paw on the ball and was about to kick it, looked at the college students who had gathered around him with suspicion, and the feathers on his head exploded.
But he still bravely spread his wings and stood in front of Li Pu, "What are you doing! What are you doing!"
So touching.
Bai Gaoxing felt that his act of sacrificing himself to save his master was very touching. He let out a fierce roar, flapped his wings and looked back at Li Pu, thinking to himself, "If it really doesn't work, I'll just fly away and call the police for you."
"Oops, we scared it." The girl with the monk parakeet on her shoulder stepped back, waved her hand apologetically, and signaled her companions to take a few steps back as well.
The others were shocked by Bai Gaoxing's reaction. They looked at each other and finally turned their gaze to the girl who recognized Li Pu's pet.
"What's the matter?" Li Pu took in their expressions and asked in a gentle tone.
It's almost certain.
The short-haired girl took a breath nervously. As soon as she heard the parrot speak, she knew it must be the one that appeared in Star Entertainment Live.
Li Pho's pet...
The girl with short hair never chases stars, but she also knows Li Pho. Or, it is because she has seen a lot of hot searches about this parrot recently and has an impression of Dabai that she can confirm the identity of Dabai's owner.
"Excuse me, are you...Mr. Li?"
In order to avoid being mistaken for a fanatic fan, the short-haired girl immediately replied after asking this question: "Sorry, I recognized Dabai because Dabai is very famous now and we both have parrots, so I recognized him!"
She also covered her mouth with her hand and said, "We will never tell anyone about this! So..."
Before deciding to come, they had agreed not to cause trouble for Le Pho - those who raise parrots are all like-minded, so Le Pho is one of them!
"So, can we take a picture of Baymax?"
A group of college students took out their mobile phones with expectant expressions.
It was the first time that he met someone who also raised parrots, and who simply liked Dabai. Li Pu thought for a moment and nodded: "No problem."
The next moment, Bai Gaoxing was baptized by the camera.
Bai Gaoxing hadn't reacted yet, still standing with his wings puffed out. The scene in front of him suddenly changed from shoes of various colors to mobile phone lenses of all sizes and the young faces of college students behind the lenses. Some people even turned off the sound effects, and the sound of clicking filled the air.
It took Bai Gaoxing less than three seconds to go from being confused at the beginning to actively finding the angle to cooperate.
"It's so cute!" The short-haired girl held her phone and excitedly set it as the screensaver.
"Can we take a photo with our parrot?" another girl asked. Their parrot was so familiar with them that they had taken photos with them eight hundred times. Now it was up to Dabai to see if he could do it.
"Hmm..." Li Pu groaned for a moment and looked at the parrots on the people. "As long as they don't fight."
Anyone who raises parrots knows that there are many species and individuals with bad tempers. Even if they are a male and a female, they can fight each other until they are bleeding. Li Pu had seen this in the "Parrot Breeding Manual" a long time ago, so he was reserved about this suggestion.
"No, my princess is very well behaved!" said the boy with the grey parrot.
"My little white horse has a good temper too." The colorful lorikeet, wearing a striped poop bag, squinted at Bai Gaoxing.
"My house is just a moon... well, it's OK. It's good at fighting, but it won't start a fight."
"My family is pretty friendly and accepting of new friends."
After all the talk, several people said they would give it a try, and if it didn't work they would take the bird back immediately.
However, looking at the eyes of the parrots, Bai Gaoxing felt that he was in a delicate situation.
They were put together.
"What a special little boy," the grey parrot tilted its head to look at him, "Do you want to lay eggs with your sister?"
"OMG." The lorikeet said in an unfriendly tone, "What a creep."
"What's going on? You haven't even woken up yet." Yue Lun yawned and glanced at Bai Gaoxing, "What are you looking at?"
"I don't play with children." The Eclectus Parrot is noble and cold.
Bai Gaoxing: “…”
I can't hold back my complaints anymore.
Do parrots have foreign languages? Were you just brought back from overseas? And Yuelun, you actually have an accent? Does an accent even affect bird language? And your owner has completely misjudged you, he is obviously very xenophobic!
"They are communicating!" People said in surprise when they saw several parrots start chirping after being put together.
Not at all.
Bai Gaoxing felt like his head was about to explode as he listened to the parrots talking to each other.
"Why would the master like a fellow like you?" the Eclectus Parrot said with contempt and resignation.
"Go away." The lorikeet didn't even look at him. "She's the one."
"Me? It doesn't matter to me." The grey parrot seemed to be used to it. "There are several others at home, but I am his favorite."
"Jealous and annoyed." Yuelun expressed it simply.
Bai Gaoxing felt a little suffocated, but he still held back and let people take pictures. When he heard someone say, "They seem to like Dabai very much, do you want to play with them for a while longer?", he immediately flew towards Li Pu and buried himself in his arms.
Even though his life was a disaster, he still feels more comfortable with others!
Li Pu hugged the parrot in his arms, a little surprised by its sudden closeness, but he still stroked its fur, "Dabai is a bit shy, let's stop here today, I'll take it somewhere else."
Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Gaoxing climbed back onto Li Pu's shoulders and was taken away from the release area.
The park had a beautiful environment. Bai Gaoxing looked around and let Li Pu hold the rope with peace of mind.
He didn't have any particular concerns about whether to fly or not. After all, he was not familiar with the skill of flying, and he was a little scared of flying too high...
Elderly people gathering
The place seemed more interesting. After walking past a bunch of bird cages, Bai Gaoxing heard a lot of things he shouldn't have heard, and then Li Pu was stopped by the curious old men.
"Hey, boy, you have an interesting bird."
The amiable old men gathered around, and there was a lark on the stone table next to them.
Bai Gaoxing listened to Li Pu briefly introducing himself to them, and yawned out of boredom. Then someone said to him, "Hello? Can you speak? Hello?"
Bai Gaoxing was no longer sleepy now, and spoke in a loud and clear voice: "Hello!"
“Ouch!”
This time, the group's interest was aroused even more. Some people even took out their own extra-large-font video recorded by their elderly cameras and said, "Another sentence."
Li Pu stood aside, watching the big parrot, which had been listless just now, suddenly become energetic, talking and dancing in front of the mobile phone, and he understood something in his heart.
It seems that Dabai still prefers to be with people.
After that, they strolled around the park. As the sun rose and the temperature became hotter, the man and the bird returned home. During this time, Bai Gaoxing's photos and talking videos were forwarded repeatedly in the circle of friends, and became popular in a small circle. Some people believed that it was Dabai Benbai, and some people questioned it because many people had large white parrots at home recently. Later, it even extended to a quarrel and a fight in the topic.
When he learned about this, Li Phou was feeding birds at home, holding his mobile phone in one hand and a cereal bar snack that he had received as a gift for buying a flying rope in the other, while listening to the agent muttering on the other end.
"I'm telling you, are you just going to take Dabai out so casually? Now is not the past, Dabai is already very famous." Lei Li was browsing her Moments on the computer and found that several people she knew had forwarded the message.
"Is it very famous?" asked Li Pho.
Lei Li was choked by this question. She wanted to ask, "Don't you know?" But then she thought that this person was indeed insular to a certain degree, so she continued, "Yes, even if others can't recognize you, they will recognize Dabai."
This cereal bar seemed to taste like sweet potato. Bai Gaoxing sniffed it carefully and stretched his neck to take a bite.
Li Pu thought about it for a moment. The company's publicity efforts have never been underestimated. "I will pay attention to this in the future."
Lei Li hummed and said, "We must pay attention. There are many pet products companies that want Dabai to take commercial advertising."
"...What?" Li Pu's subordinate who was holding the snacks raised his consciousness. Bai Gaoxing tilted his head as high as possible, but it still couldn't reach him. He had no choice but to jump onto Li Pu's wrist, successfully drawing the man's attention back and lowering his head to bite it.
"Of course, it depends on your opinion. The main thing is that Dabai likes it very much, so you can give it a try." Lei Li said.
Li Pu paused for a while, looked at the parrot on his arm that only cared about eating, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's wait and see."
Lei Li knew that Li Pu's attitude had softened. If he was unwilling, he would have directly refused, so her tone became more relaxed, "Then I'll wait for your news."
After hanging up the phone, Li Phou picked up the half-broken cereal bar. The crumbs were scattered all over the ground. His big parrot looked at him innocently and burped.
…
The days passed peacefully one by one.
One ordinary morning, Li Pho returned home and just as he closed the door, he heard the sound of flapping wings in the bedroom.
He shouted "Dabai", and soon the sound of flapping wings became clearer and louder. A snow-white figure suddenly rushed out of the house and flew to him smoothly and lightly.
"Very good." He stroked the parrot's soft feathers and praised generously.
Bai Gaoxing held his head high.
After many days of controlled diet and exercise, he has successfully transformed from a chubby chicken into a sturdy flying chicken. He can take off into the air effortlessly and has even developed the skill of staying in the air.
This is elegance.
Bai Gaoxing stood on Li Pu's shoulders, strolling from the living room to the kitchen, and from the kitchen to the dining room. Now he has become a super outstanding pet parrot, the kind that will never embarrass you when you take him out!
"Dabai, bring it back."
During the digestive exercise after the meal, Li Pho threw a ball.
Bai Gaoxing immediately rushed over, grabbed the ball before it hit the ground, and then spun it around and returned to Li Pu's shoulder.
"Here you go~" He tapped Li Pu's shoulder with his beak.
The man rewarded him with a melon seed.
Life is beautiful.
In the afternoon, Li Pu went out as usual, and Bai Gaoxing went to the equipment to check the comments as scheduled.
During this period when he could only go downstairs to get some fresh air, he was not idle and happily shot 10 short videos.
For example, "Now that I have pigs, I don't want to talk to people who don't have pigs" - this was taken when he was fat, and it doesn't qualify now.
For example, "Please use a photo to prove that you have a bird" - he cleaned the house with a sweeping robot that day, took a photo and said it was done by a parrot, but no one believed him.
For example, "Such a cute little parrot was born to be kissed! muamuamua~~" - In order to prevent people from thinking that Li Pho was a pervert, he deliberately said this himself, but it seemed to make Li Pho look even more perverted.
In addition, he also saved many failed products in the draft box.
Bai Gaoxing browsed through his works with satisfaction, scratching them with his claws, continuing to look for new inspiration.
But good times are always short-lived.
Just when Bai Gaoxing thought his bird life was on the right track and he had perfectly adapted to the daily life with his owner happily, a phone call broke the peace.
"I think the time is almost up... Reminder..."
The long-lost voice of Mei Youshu came from the other end of the phone, and Bai Gaoxing hurried over to listen.
“…Okay, I understand.”
After a while, the man hung up the phone and turned his eyes to himself.
Bad news!
Bai Gaoxing accepted Li Pu's touch in a daze, watching his lips opening and closing. His thoughts stagnated for a long time before he formed a message.
Li Pu's vacation is about to end, and he will officially join the crew soon.
